Report
in support of
CEDAW -
Alternative
Report (2016).....Myanmar ratified
the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination
Against Women (CEDAW)
in 1997, and its government submitted its last state report to
the CEDAW
Committee in 2008.
In
the past, women?s groups working in Myanmar had
little opportunity to submit
alternative
reports to CEDAW; only
the Women?s League of
Burma (WLB), which is
based on border areas, was
able to submit
such reports.
In 2010, the political situation in Myanmar changed,
allowing
women?s organizations
both along the border and inside the country
to
work together more closely. In 2012,
WON
(representing 38
member organizations)
and WLB (representing 13 member
organizations) began to work together,
conducting strategic planning workshops and
identifying joint strategic activities based on challenges faced and lessons learned. One
of those joint projects involves CEDAW monitoring and reporting.
As a follow-up of a Strategic Planning
Workshop held
in March
2014.
WON organised a
workshop on the CEDAW shadow reporting process for its members, as well as members
of the WLB. After this workshop, WON and WLB agreed to work collaboratively on
CEDAW NGO reporting with technical assistance from other organizations.
WON chose to focus on CEDAW Articles 7, 12 and 14, as most WON members are
working to promote women?s participation in politics, access to health care and the rights
of rural women.
The objective of this research was to explore key issues for women in the above-identified areas for inclusion in WON?s CEDAW
Shadow
Report. Additionally, WON
hoped the research would provide support for concrete recommendations for the
government in the CEDAW reporting process..."
